Who it's for

Fans of mid-weight Euros and area-majority tension who enjoy juggling a hand of cards to out-commit rivals.

Not for you if…

You want low interaction, or dislike the swings of majority fights where a late-played card can flip a whole district.

🦊

Vibe's take

A tense card-management tug-of-war over majorities, where committing more cards than rivals to each district pays off.

About this game

A card-driven majority game set in the six districts of Renaissance Venice, from Stefan Feld. Each round you draft a set of character cards, then spend matching cards to place council members, build bridges and gondolas, and erect buildings that grant ongoing powers. Points come from dominating districts and connecting them cleverly.
